Our ruthless, clinical performance makes a mockery of the prediction thread on here. "Wire by 20".

On a positive note though for you guys I thought Kevin penny played well and with the bottom 2 losing again you should be safe this season.

We were beaten by clearly the better side... We can just go round in circles week after week cant we?... No decent half back, no kicking game, no organisation, an awful static clueless attack and a toothless set of forwards without Westwood (Hill apart).



A good HB (or 2) with a kicking game, a new hooker and a couple of nasty forwards and were back in business. That wont be this season though.. so for now we just have to accept a 5th/6th place finish

Warrington have won Challenge Cups recently, a League Leaders Shield and contested two Grand Finals, we have a better stadium than Cas and more money by a long way and this has clouded a lot of peoples judgment, people seem to think because of all the things I mentioned we have the devine right to beat Cas. The truth is we don't, you have to work for each other and we aren't doing that.



We've been incredibly naive, let too many people go at once, promoted players with very little SL experience and recruited average this year.



We are woefully behind Cas on the field regardless of our recent past, give them credit I've seen them on tv and I watched them v London live and they've been a joy to watch.

Best team won on the day, no arguments from me. We were woeful and Cas took full advantage of that as they are clearly a really good team this year. The only players to come out of our games who can hold their heads high for me are Hill, Higham and Waterhouse.

Kev Penny did nothing wrong to be fair, returned the ball well but should've strolled in for the opening try when Tansey flattened him.



Can't put my finger on what you guys did wrong today, just way off the pace all over the field which was really surprising from a side coached by TS.



Waterhouse threatened and Hill ran well - Asotasi carrying a bit IMO



The right-side defence of Evans(?) and Monaghan was dreadful - JM didn't look fully fit considering how threatening and robust he usually is.



Probably our best performance of the season to be honest, we are capable of mixing it with the big boys but 40-6 is pretty outrageous

To be fair, Russell didn't spill one bomb in a swirling wind and some of them were huge!! So i think he came out ok yesterday. Atkins looked like he wanted it and ran the ball in hard. It's a shame we have such a dearth of creativity and are unable to open up defences and put players like that through gaps.

The problem I have with Russel is he has no idea how to link into the line, returning the ball he's fine, but he rarely links into the attack and when he does he takes the wrong option...

Blimey that's not taken long.

Spot on

I said the same about Russell in an Asotasi thread (I think) a few weeks ago, I noticed his kick returns and effort are both 110% but his link up play is terrible BUT I STRESS, BUT he's young and fresh and learning and the fact he tries as hard as he does means I'm staying off his back, you can't criticise effort like that.



Asotasi...yeah, I'm done with him, I've seen enough now to be confident in my opinion, one half decent performance since he's been here.

Wasn't it said by Shaun Wane that Russell has poor support play and that's was why they let him go?

I should of made myself clearer, I dont include any youngsters in this as they have been thrust straight into the firing line.
